  • The back is grey-brown to dark brown.1
  • The belly is orange to pink, with a line of black spots down the middle.1
  • A pale yellow-brown stripe starts at the snout and sweeps back along both sides of the head, trailing down the neck. This is the 'crown'.1
  • The dorsal scales are in 15 rows at mid-body.1
  • Adults average about 50 cm in total length, including the tail.1

It is only mildly venomous. It is more likely to bluff than to bite, and bites from larger snakes may pose a health risk.1

Tge fa el, cura ch'el ha tema?

When threatened, it rears into an S-shape and shows its bright orange belly, mock biting to intimidate.1

Sch'el morda

  • Immobilisaziun cun squitsch: envolva ina bandascha elastica ferma sur la morsa e lura vi da l'entir member ensi, fixescha el cun ina stecca e tegna la persuna dal tut immobila, fin che l'agid arriva.
  • Na lava betg la morsa: ils ospitals pon analisar il tissi ch'è restà sin la pel per tscherner il dretg antiserum.

Clama adina l'emprim tes numer d'urgenza (112, 000, 911). Quai è in cussegl general d'emprim agid, betg in cussegl medicinal. Basa da l'emprim agid

Resta en segirezza

  • Na tutga, na piglia e na tizza mai in animal selvadi, gnanc in pitschen, ed era sch'el para da durmir u d'esser mort.
  • Dà spazi a l'animal. Sche ti scuntras in, resta calm, va plaun enavos e lascha ir el per sia via.
  • Sch'in tal animal ta morda: resta calm, na ta mova betg, clama tes numer d'urgenza (112, 000, 911) u va spert en in ospital. Ta regorda co ch'el veseva or, ina foto gida.

El n'ha betg quai sin tai. El dovra ses tissi per pigliar nutriment u per sa defender, e sa zuppa bler pli gugent. Dapli davart la segirezza
